Biggest problem is that too many people over use the exec courses. Met 1 guy who plays as many as 3, 9 hole rounds almost everyday and I am sure that there are others who do the same.

Is the amount allotted for course maintenance not sufficient? Or is it more a case of money allotted for that maintenance being paid to people who really don't know what proper maintenance is? More than once I've seen fairways being mowed, where the mower might have one side on relatively firm ground but is leaving ruts in the softer ground on the other side. Ruts are harder (and assumedly more expensive) to fix than long grass. If the process of maintaining courses is itself causing more maintenance issues, then it seems that closer supervision and/or training of the people doing the maintenance might be at least a partial fix.
